Car Touring
That’s easy. Taking your car to Ireland gives you a major flexibility and allows you to get to those faraway places, which otherwise you might not be able to see.
Like where, for example?
Well, take the Burren or the Beara Peninsula for starters. You really need to have a car with you to make the most of both these places – unless, of course, you’re feeling energetic enough to do them by bike! Then there’s the stunning Causeway Coastal Route, which weaves through exceptional glens and offers some of the country’s most dramatic views; the beautiful Sally Gap drive in County Wicklow and its breathtaking scenery.
I don’t want to be one of a crowd, where can I go?
Well, the other wonderful benefit to travelling by car around Ireland is getting off the beaten track and discovering a deserted beach, a remote country pub, a staggering cliff face or even just enjoying the winding country roads, which cut through spectacular scenery and are frequently dotted with sheep – so take care! If you want to get away from it all, you can take to the hills or delve into a wooded glen – all at your own pace!
So what are the other benefits of bringing a car to Ireland?
As well as being good value for money (no money needs to be spent on train fares, bus fares or taxis, plus petrol in the Republic is cheaper than many countries at the moment), you can also bring everything with you: the kids, the dog, the golf clubs, the barbecue, the granny…And getting here from the UK couldn’t be easier – a new generation of ferries means that the travelling time can be as little as 99 minutes.
What if I don’t have a car?
That doesn’t matter. Car hire is available all over Ireland and can be a really time effective option, especially if you are only going for a few days as you can pick up a hire car at any Irish airport. So what are you waiting for?
